We offer pre-construction services for project types ranging from stand-alone single construction endeavors on through to the land acquisition and fully implemented development project. Financing, leasing, and property management all fall under the umbrella of our pre-construction services.

CONSTRUCTION

Our history spans a body of work that includes public buildings, modest single-story buildings, mid-rise office buildings, and mid-rise residential structures. We have completed full service medical facilities, museums, high-tech manufacturing facilities, computer facilities, and schools.

In 60 years, we have built more than 1,000 buildings. What you don’t see in each of those buildings is the complex aesthetic, financial, and scheduling issues that were mitigated in order to bring the project to a successful completion.

We believe in the quality of execution.

Most firms claim that of the three key factors – Speed, Price, and Quality – only two of the three are possible, and that one must be compromised when considering the building process. We know that all three are key to our clients’ needs, and therefore speed, price, and quality are fundamental commitments we deliver upon as part of our services.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND DEVELOPMENT

Clients occasionally ask us to manage a process from land acquisition, design, and financing, through construction and project close out–including leasing and property management. Our team is experienced across all aspects of project management and development–we’ve handled quite possibly every conceivable situation in our sixty years of business.

Oliver and Company is a great fit for clients who may be inexperienced with executing large building projects, or who may not have the staff to adequately handle all the various components that are so critical to a successful project. We help our clients make the decisions that balance scheduling, aesthetics, and budget; this is part of our value, and why our clients trust us with their most important projects.

LEED CERTIFICATION

LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. Construction projects seeking LEED certification must demonstrate a commitment to environmental responsibility and to providing people with healthy places to live and work. LEED certified buildings gain environmental and financial benefits, including:

Lower operating cost and increased asset value

Reduced waste sent to landfills.

Conservation of energy and water

Provision of healthier and safer spaces for occupants

Reduction of harmful greenhouse gas emissions.

LEED certified buildings also qualify for tax rebates, zoning allowances and other incentives in hundreds of cities, and demonstrate an owner’s commitment to environmental stewardship and social responsibility.

Oliver & Company is proud to have a LEED accredited professional on staff and has been awarded “Best Green Practices” by Business Environmental Alliance (PDF).

NON-PROFIT ASSISTANCE

Oliver and Company has been concerned that, in the long run, occupancy costs for Non-Profits are a substantial hazard to their financial health. We believe that if Non-Profits can control their own real estate costs, they can better control their financial health. As such, we have developed a focused program that provides financial and real estate management assistance to Non-Profits so they may acquire proprietary real estate assets.

Our continuing interest in the health of Non-Profit organizations in our community is in line with our culture, and derivative of our history as a company. We encourage and support our employees’ efforts to participate as volunteers in Non-Profit organizations.

Our strong Non-Profit relationships comprise a significant part of our business, in many different ways. We are committed to serving the Non-Profit community as part of our overall business–we hope they can benefit from our expertise just as we benefit from their invaluable contributions to our community.

PROPERTY MANAGEMENT

Oliver & Company maintains a full-service Property Management team for both in-house and out-of-house projects. We manage over forty real estate properties for associates and clients. While we do not actively solicit growth in this area of the Company’s expertise, we provide it as a service to our clients.
